You don't need to spend $100 to get the $100 refund. Even $1 should trigger it. I've triggered it with $7.95 and $30 purchases. So if you're doing GCs just buy a $50 card, should be fine.

Bear in mind American Eagle flights usually do not accept cc.

The Law in NJ makes a lot of sense it basically states that you may not sell "rip-off" GCs (ie: no expiration dates and no cards that can't be used for all purchases from that merchant.)
AA does not let you use them toward baggage fees or inflight purchases only for new reservations.

Yes. change your address with Citi then buy a virtual gift card from AA then go right back to Citi and switch your address back
this works for Amex Platinum.
I would suggest doing it in the last week of the cycle so you get your credit before it cancels but YMMV!

No.

as usual JEWDA has no idea what he is talking about.

Which flights are refundable, and how long do you have to cancel it?

So the goal would be to book a week before statement closes as the credit hits on the last day, and then cancel the ticket immediately after the credit hits. CMIIW please.

The GC gets refunded when you switch the address back.
It takes like a week or 2
secondly you may not want to lay out a few hundred dollars for a few weeks
a GC is $50

I think he means booked ticket before statement closes and got the statement credit before.

Silly!!! Your method takes 2 weeks, refundable takes just a few days.
